Well, now, let me tell ya about this here fantasy football draft thing. It’s a real head-scratcher, ain’t it? How many rounds, you ask? Shoot, it all depends, kinda like how many taters you gonna plant in your garden.
I heard some folks talkin’, they say most of ’em do 16 rounds. Yeah, 16! That’s a whole heap of pickin’ and choosin’. But some might do more, some might do less. Just depends on how many folks you got playin’ and how many players they need on their team, ya know?
Now, they got these positions, see? Like a quarterback, he’s the fella throwin’ the ball. Then you got your running backs, those are the fellas runnin’ with it. And the wide receivers, they’re the ones tryin’ to catch it. It’s all a bit much for me, but the young’uns seem to love it.
- Quarterback (QB) – Gotta have one of them, usually. Maybe two if you’re feelin’ fancy.
- Running Backs (RB) – Need a couple of these fellas, maybe four, five, even six! Depends on how much runnin’ you think they’ll be doin’.
- Wide Receivers (WR) – Same as them running backs. Four, five, six, maybe even seven! Gotta catch that ball!
And then there’s this other fella, the tight end. Now, I ain’t too sure what he does, but you need one of ’em. Then there is a kicker, kick that ball far away. And what is d/st? I don’t know, young people always talk about new things. And the last one, they call him flex, a flex player. That just means you can pick another running back, or a wide receiver, or even one of them tight ends if you want. It’s like a wild card, ya see?
So, you go round and round, each person pickin’ a player for their team. You gotta be smart about it, though. You can’t just pick all quarterbacks, can ya? Gotta have a good mix, like a good stew. And those young’uns, they got these fancy lists, showin’ who the best players are. They call it ADP. Average Draft Position, I reckon. It’s like a cheat sheet, tellin’ ya who to pick and when.
This whole fantasy football thing is like plantin’ a garden. You gotta plan it out, see what kind of seeds you need, how much sun they need, how much water. You want a good harvest, don’t ya? Same with this. You want a good team, so you gotta plan your picks. If you pick good, win more. That’s what they said.
Now, I heard some folks say you should start with a running back and a wide receiver. Then, with your next few picks, get yourself a quarterback, a tight end, and a couple more of them running backs or wide receivers. They say it sets you up real nice, gives you a good chance of havin’ a good team. Like havin’ a good rooster in your henhouse, ya know? Keeps things runnin’ smooth.
- First pick a RB and a WR.
- Then pick a QB and a TE.
- Then pick some RB/WR again.
They say you want a “Top 8” tight end and a “Top 7” quarterback. Don’t rightly know what that means, but it sounds important. Like pickin’ the best apples from the tree, I reckon. You want the good ones, the ones that ain’t got no worms.
Some people said they need to pick the best position first. I think it depends on the other people. What players they can get. Like if you want to plant some corns but they are all gone, then you need to plant something else.
Now, how many quarterbacks should you get? Well, that depends too. Some leagues, they let you start two quarterbacks. Most just let you start one. So you gotta know the rules, like knowin’ the rules of a pie contest. Can’t bring a cake to a pie contest, can ya?
It’s all a bit confusin’, ain’t it? But I reckon if you just remember to get a good mix of players, and you use them lists they got, you’ll be alright. And don’t forget to have fun with it! It’s just a game, after all. Like a good ol’ game of checkers on a Saturday night. Just enjoy it, win or lose.
So, how many rounds in a fantasy football draft? Well, like I said, most folks do 16. But it all depends. Just like everything else in life. You gotta be flexible, like a willow branch in the wind. And you gotta be smart, like a fox in the henhouse. And if you do all that, you just might win that trophy. Or whatever it is they give out for winnin’ this thing. Maybe it’s a pie. I wouldn’t mind winnin’ a pie.
Anyway, hope that helps ya some. It’s all a bit of a muddle, this fantasy football business. But it’s all in good fun, I suppose. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go see about my chickens. They ain’t gonna feed themselves, ya know!
